Currently I've been eating to meal plan ( which is printed and on the fridge at home), so no logging for this girl for now.0

Those cookies I made last Thursday keep calling.
Damn those buttery chewy disc of delisiousness.
I am surprised my family hasn't scarfed them up yet. I must be feeding them to well.0 -

Idk how successful this will be but maintenance is the time for experiments right? lol
Anyway yesterday was high calorie so today is 500....the degree to which I am not hungry is making me disgusted with my calorie total yesterday, oy vey. I cannot wait until Nabisco puts these oreos back in the cookie vault haha
Give it a few weeks to a month or two to see if this method of eating is helping you maintain, lose, or gain. The days that you eat 500 are you going to regulate how much exercise you do or take a rest day?
With how much exercise you've said you're doing in your marathon training your Oreo calories are definitely justified.1 -

Experimenting to find out what works for you is good. Oreo cookies are evil. My husband loves the blueberry and the pumpkin spice ones. My downfall is candy corn, personally. If I buy it I will most likely eat the whole bag.
Yeah they are so bad! Why do they have to be 1800 calories a package?! #rude lol
My favorites are coming back soon The White Fudge Oreos!
A coworker ate three of those packs in a sitting & that's around 3,600 calories

Haha never fear my experiment was very short lived! My thought this morning after failing out at 11km was more "Yeeeeeeah maybe not." 50km unsurprisingly will not happen on shrimp and cauliflower alone
. Our local grocery has clearly taken pity on me and clearanced the last three packs of pumpkin spice oreos (I thankfully only lust after the PS ones). Now to refrain from buying them

I think I am done with experiments until after my marathon in June and will be going back to keto tomorrow. Not worth trashing my performance on a race that carries wildly expensive registration. Honestly I knew it was coming, I am faster as a keto runner by a significant margin. I bonk around HM length as a glyco and running makes me happier than eating does sooooo bye PS oreos

Don't skip recording. Your body records it even if you didn't and knowledge is power.
If if helps you are not alone last Thursday I made pumpkin spice cookies and some wonderful coconut, oatmeal, chocolate chip cookies that were wonderful. some of what I logged was the dough but also sampled the cooked cookies. It happens with me every once in a blue moon.
I just went back to staying into my macros I did not go under to try to make up for those calories.
I have gotten bad that when I know I am over, I'll log until I push myself over and then just close it out. I need to get less lazy and record everything! If I know I am under, I make sure I record every little bit.
Yes it is tempting to not log, but how is that helping you?
It's not that it's tempting not to log it, I am just lazy. I know I am over, so once I make myself be over, I then close it out. I don't pay attention to weekly or macros, so it's usually not that beneficial, but that 'you would weigh x in 5 weeks' can be compelling. In both directions.
x in 5 weeks isn't always correct1 -

It's never correct but it can still be scary.2 -

I confess that I only helped at a thing last night because I was promised pizza and cookies. Neither of which were there. I also confess that I was a jerk the rest of the night because of it.3

I would be ticked too if there was a promise of food & I had set aside calories & skipped a meal to make sure I had enough calories left.0 -
I confess I ate a protein bar & two Ginger cookies for breakfast. The protein bar was awesome, but the cookies were pretty meh tasting.0

Ginger cookies and men does not compute. Of course I make my own, so.0

Ugh I hate when something with a high-ish calorie price tag ends up not being worth it!0
